from press release

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Despite Freshman attack Rob
Santangelo's 2 goal and 2 assist effort, the Dutchmen fall just
short in a thrilling six overtime matchup against Connecticut
College at the University of Georgetown's campus.

Connecticut College's sophomore midfielder Mike Giambanco was
able to seal the win for Connecticut after successfully scoring an
un-assisted goal twenty four seconds into the sixth overtime of the
game.

Senior Midfielder Mark Mangano led the Connecticut Camels with
four goals in the contest.

The Dutchmen got off to a fast start with an opening goal from
Griesinger at 9:20. Santangelo then scored the next goal for Union
at 6:17 to give the Dutchmen a 2-0 lead over the Camels just over
half way through the first period.

After a 3-3 tie at the end of the first period of play, the
Dutchmen again got off to a fast paced start to open the second
period. Meyer started the scoring for the second period with a goal
at 11:41 and then Young shortly after followed Meyer's goal with a
goal of his own at 10:25. However, the Connecticut Camels went on
their second streak of 3 un-answered goals of the game to give them
a one point advantage half way into the third period. Derek Mayer
then closed out the third period with a goal at 8:27 to tie the
game at six a piece entering the fourth period of play.

added his second goal of the day at 7:41. Connecticut's Greg
Demetriou then scored at 4:45 to even the score at seven.

After five hard fought overtimes, both teams then entered to
play a sixth overtime with the score still even at seven. The sixth
and last overtime did not last long, Connecticut's Giambanco scored
the game winning goal just twenty four seconds into the last
overtime to give the Camels the victory.
